THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 58
"I sincerely apologize for barging Inside the ward like that. I should have knocked first before thinking of coming inside. This is a bad time to be here, I guess," Nurse Olivia freaked out like a toddler. She saw death and life flashed right across her face. For a moment, she thought she was never gonna survive the last few seconds inside the ward. Her forehead was sweaty despite the air-conditioner being turned onThe terrifying look from Doctor Escobar further complicated Olivia's situation. That was the moment she wished she possessed some supernatural powers. Perhaps she would have vanished into thin air and saved herself from the impending torture that awaits her. It would have been better if it was just George in the ward. With the presence of Doctor Escobar, speaking up might be a major concern for Olivia A few minutes have passed, and no one has said a word yet. Not even Doctor Escobar, Kelly, or George. They all waited for her to speak up first. They knew that she would

As Kelly was about to step outside to return the missed calls, George called him back. "Hold on a sec. Before you leave, I have a question for you. I demand an honest answer because I know you too well. You might wanna beat around the bush. Have you spoken to Ciara since she left last night?""Really? This was the question you wanted to ask me. And you made me wait? Are we gonna do this now? Where's that coming from?" Kelly dodged the question. He was infuriated that George had to ask such a question in the presence of everyone. Kelly would have preferred if the question was asked when the two of them were alone. "Just answer the damn question. I see no reason you are getting yourself worked up. It's not, really, no big deal. A yes or no would do,"George spoke again. Not even Kelly's refusal to speak would stop him from trying to satisfy his curiosity."Sorry to disappoint you, I can't answer that." Kelly hissed and walked away without providing the answers that George seek"Oops.

“Hi, Ciara. I missed your calls. How are you doing over there? Have you had dinner already? What do you wanna talk to me about?” Kelly asked Ciara over the phone. He was already having divided attention and could barely concentrate on the telephone conversation. He might be having a conversation with Ciara, but his soul was inside the ward. He was eager to find out what nurse Olivia wanted to discuss. To Kelly, it was more important than speaking with Ciara over the phone. “Dad, are you doing great over there? Who's there with you? Are you still in the hospital?” Ciara asked relentlessly over the phone after she observed how restless Kelly sounded. That wasn't what the Father knew. He spoke as though he had a gun pointed toward his head, forcing him to speak. “What do you mean if I was doing great? How can you ask me such a question? Of course, I am doing great. Don't I sound perfect to you? How else do you want me to speak to you?” Kelly lied. He feigned a baritone voice to pr

"Dad, it's Derek Cooper. Your friend's son. Remember him now? You, too, had a conversation in the hospital last night. He was even the one that introduced himself to you as a Cooper until his elder brother, Dexter kicked him out of the hospital,” Ciara finally made the shocking revelation after beating around the bush for a long time. “Derek, did what? What did I just hear? Holy Moly! You have got to be kidding me right now.” Kelly screamed his lungs out until his eyes suddenly turned red as though he wanted to cry. His scream caught the attention of other nurses who directed their gaze at him. Taking the phone off his ear, Kelly smiled at the nurses and told them. “Sorry about that. I was having a telephone conversation,” Kelly further took a few steps away from the nurses to concentrate on the telephone conversation. He was also trying to evade any impending questions. “Dad, are you there? Who were you talking to over the phone?” Ciara asked her Father. For a second, she t

“Argh! This is quite disgusting for me. I can't deal with it.” Ciara raged and smashed the glass cup she was holding against the wall. She dashed to the dining room and cried her eyes out after seeing how empty it was.“To think I already prepared dinner for my dad, believing that he would show up. This was gonna supposed to be a surprise. But I guess I was wrong. He didn't just show up, he spoke to me disdainfully over the phone as though I weren't his daughter.” Ciara muttered succinctly as hot tears streamed down her eyes. She had the urge to throw away the food she had prepared, into the trash can. However, a voice spoke in her head, telling her to stop, and she obeyed immediately.Ciara also considered the stress she had to go through trying to prepare the meal. There was no way she was going to let her efforts be in vain.“I guess I need to microwave the food. We are going to eat it some other time. I can't let waste just like that.” Ciara said to herself, wiped her tears, and

“By the time my Father gets here, you all are going to pay for this. You folks don't know who you're dealing with. I will make sure you rot in jail for treating me this way,” Regardless of his condition, Dexter threatened Officer Lucas from his cell after the latter visited him.“Oops, I'm scared for my life. I have got to run and hide for my safety right now. Daddy's boy is going to hurt me,” Officer Lucas mocked Dexter with the rest of the officers who accompanied him to Dexter's cell. “Oh, don't you dare make fun of me? That wasn't funny. I was just stating that fact. And for your information, I am not a Daddy's boy. For crying out loud, I am a mature man,” Dexter cried his eyes out. He gave them a thousand reasons to believe that he was a perfect gentleman. Rather than believing him, Officer Lucas continued to taunt Dexter.“No man in his right senses, would hit a lady the way you did. That was the dumbest shit I've witnessed in my entire life. Whosoever does that is nothing bu

“Who's in with me on this one? I don't want to believe that I'm alone. Surely, you all will be willing to partner with me. Correct me if I'm wrong.” Officer Lucas smiled when he asked others, but no one responded to him. He thought they were going to be excited but apparently, everyone maintained their silence and frowned. The rest of the cops head backward due to fear. Only Romeo was brave enough to stand in front of Lucas, waiting to receive his orders.“Romeo, what about you? You haven't said anything since. What do you have to say about this? You were the first person I expected to speak up and I want to believe that you are with me, right?” Lucas asked Romeo. Without speaking, he was already confident that Romeo was not going to act like the other cops and sideline him Looking at the other cops, Romeo itched his head. He had no idea what to say.Deep down, he wasn't pleased with Lucas's decision-making. At the same time, he has no plans of disappointing Lucas in the process.

“Exactly what you heard, Romeo. This is crazy. It's against my belief. I can't imagine myself being a partaker of something that's against my faith,” Tony confirmed his decision to back out. His lips weren't shaking either, and his legs were struggling to stand firm on the ground. He didn't stutter or mince words. It was as though he'd been waiting for this moment all his life to express his dissatisfaction. “Your beliefs?” Romeo giggled. He paced around the office and returned a few seconds later. “Please tell me this is a joke. It's too early to joke with a situation like this,” Romeo doubted Tony. Despite the seriousness on Tony's face, Romeo still didn't think he meant every damn word he said. “I wouldn't utter a word to you anymore. I rather wait for the officer to show up. Perhaps, you are going to believe me when I say it to his face,” Tony stated and stepped backwards. Those were the only words he uttered. “he's serious about it,” Romeo muttered in disbelief. Tony was t

It's been over fifteen minutes since Ciara arrived at the address that Walters described, and she hasn't entered the building. She kept calling for Walters to come outside so she could hand him over. Unfortunately for Ciara, he wasn't picking up his calls. It got to a point where his phone reportedly went off. This got Ciara worried and scared at the same time. She regretted ever accepting to return the clothes and wallet to Walters. She only did that just to stop Walters from showing up to her Father's house again like he did the last time. What hurt Ciara the most was the fact that she had to disobey her Father just to come see Walters. The thought of this alone made her not to give up. She was determined to stay back and wait for Walters to return. She wasn't bothered by how long he stayed. She wouldn't want her effort to be in vain.As Ciara waited for Walters, she had her eyes combing the entirety of the neighborhood to ensure that no one came to assault her. “I still don't k

“Oops, it looks like you weren't aware that Dexter was arrested. Damn! Why did I tell you? I should have kept it to myself,” Olivia facepalms. She thought Derek was aware of it. Now, she just got herself involved in bigger trouble because Doctor Escobar had warned them not to discuss Dexter's arrest with anyone. “I need to see the doctor or my Father this minute. I will address the arrest of Dexter after. But first, my Father is important. Lastly, don't be scared. I am not going to tell your Doctor that you told me about the arrest. It's nothing for you to worry about. I do understand how significant your job is, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize it,” Derek assured. He wasn't ready to kill two birds with one stone."That way, please. That's the road to the Doctor's officeAnd please — don't forget the promise you had made. You know what they said about promises, right?' Nurse Olivia gave up trying to argue with Derek. She was damn convinced that the argument wasn't going to yield

After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, Romeo stepped outside. At that time, he had already convinced himself that Nancy had gone for good. It was worse than a near-death experience for Romeo. He knew the wife he married and decided to act smart. He hadn't told her yet, and she was already acting like she would set the house ablaze. He can't imagine what will happen when he eventually does. “I just hope I can keep up with this lie for the next 6 months until I get my job back," Romeo prayed. He did a cross sign and went back to bed. The suspension at the station was somehow becoming a blessing in disguise for Romeo because he couldn't call the last time he had that long sleep. Let alone staying at home that long before. It wasn't too long when Romeo went to sleep, and he was already hearing some footsteps in his dream. He thought it was all a dream until he heard someone call his name. “Romeo!” The voice sounded like Nancy's. Instantly, Romeo tossed off the bed as fear grippe
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 92
It was just the first day without a Job, and Romeo's life hasn't remained the same anymore. There's a part of him that's missing from inside that he just can't fathom. He would roll to both sides of the bed like a snake due to frustration. He couldn't even summon the courage to tell his wife about the devastating news. He was scared that his wife might react badly to the news or do something crazy. He intends to keep the news to himself for the longest time possible until he's done making Dexter get out of prison.“Honey, I am off to work. I would also drop the kids at school on my way to work. If you ever feel hungry, your food is in the dining room. Love you!” Nancy, Romeo's wife, informed him. She kissed his forehead afterward.26 years of age, light-skinned, curly hair, and curved. They've been married for 10 years and blessed with 3 beautiful kids. Nancy was never supporting Romeo's decision to become a cop. She was scared that he might get shot to death on duty. As a graduat

“Hold on a second! I hope It's not what I am thinking that's running through your mind right now?” She freaked out. “I don't know what you think I'm thinking. But whatever it is, who knows? It might be a beautiful thing. Don't you think so?” Derek winked at Ciara and winked seductively. “Then you must be the biggest dreamer on earth. I don't see that happening. Just so you know, your dad and my Dad had arranged for your Brother, Dexter and I to be married,” Like a rocket, Ciara launched the shocking news straight into Derek's heart.“What the heck?” Derek exclaimed in shock and pulled over Immediately. “What are you doing? Why did you have to pull over like that? Were you trying to get us killed?”“Have you agreed to get married to my brother?” Asked, Derek as he breathed heavily. He was lucky enough not to suffer a cardiac arrest. The news caught him aware. “Does it matter? I haven't arrived at my destination yet. Unless you want me to come down and start searching for a cab,”

“You again? What kind of man are you? What do you want from me? Don't you get tired of stalking me? It wasn't enough for you to show up in my house unannounced, now you want to get me killed? How cruel can you get? Do you want me to report you to the cops before you leave me the heck alone?” Ciara yelled at Derek with the loudest voice for almost knocking her down. She didn't even give him a breathing space to explain better. At every attempt to speak, she keeps shutting him down. “Can I at least explain myself better?You are already condemning me without a fair judgment. Even a criminal is entitled to a fair hearing at the court.” Derek pleaded like a pauper. “What do you have to say this time in defense? You certainly have no point. The truth remains that you almost got me killed. How else are you going to defend that? Perhaps, you want to justify the reason you almost got me killed. “ She yelled again. This time, even worse than the first time. The situation was attracting too

“What am I going to do about this now? My Father won't let me leave. He's not even treating me like this daughter anymore. What have I done for him to deserve this?” Bewildered, Ciara questioned herself. She sought a solution but couldn't get one. She was desperate to go get the keys from Kelly certainly. After seeing that little display by Kelly, Ciara was forced to retract. "He's just going to beat me to a pulp for the first time, and it's going to be one crazy hell of an experience,” Ciara thought. In the process of finding a way out, Ciara thought of something new. She quickly recalled hhow Derrek was able to escape through the back door without Kelly knowing about it.“Yes, the back door. That's precisely what I am going to use.Why didn't I think about this before? My Dad won't even notice anything. Let's see who's smarter now,” She giggled and praised herself for coming up with a solution almost immediately when it felt like all hope was lost. Ciara wasn't even bothere

“You wouldn't dare do something stupid, Ciara. Your mom and I didn't raise you to be this disrespectful towards me,”“Take my mom's name out of your fucking mouth, Dad. She wouldn't treat me this way if she was alive, and you know it. So don't try to defend your mediocrity,” Ciara clapped back immediately with full confidence. Ciara's confidence grew stronger as each day passed. Gone were the days when she could barely even look at Kelly's face and speak. “I don't care what you do or say. The reason you turned out this way is that your late mom spoiled you. But with me, it's not going to be possible. I will do everything possible to ensure you act right. Hand over the paper to me now. I am speaking to you as your Father. It's an order, and you must obey me,” Kelly roared like a wounded lion. Kelly attempted to snatch the phone from Ciara. Unfortunately for him, Ciara saw that coming and edged backward. She stood a few miles away from Kelly should he attempt to punch her in the f

It was a new day, promising new hopes and aspirations for Ciara and her Father after the previous night of Royal Rumble. With their chaos, they nearly brought down the entire building. The rays of the morning sun flickered into Ciara's room as she rubbed her blurry eyes. She had been awake since 5:30 AM despite going to bed late the previous night. She barely even slept for three hours before her problem woke her up. Ciara wasn't a coffee drinker, but she stayed awake the whole night, thinking about the unfortunate incident that occurred in her house. No matter how she tried to forget, it kept playing in her head. Like a glued the incident was stuck to her mind. The fact that Derrek forgot some of his clothes and wallet complicated it. Ciara had already assured Walters that she was going to help him get the wallet. Returning the wallet to Derrek wasn't Ciara's fault. Her major concern is avoiding the temptation from Derrek after failing the last time, which, of course, leads t
